| summary | Existing studies mainly use chronological age as a key marker to track, describe, and explain changes in functioning in a range of domains. However, subjective age, i.e. how old or young individuals feel, is a novel biopsychosocial marker of aging that is gaining popularity in gerontological research because of its links with several health-related outcomes in old age, independent of chronological age. The aim of this presentation will be to summarize our recent findings on the biological, physical, and cognitive implications of subjective age, and to propose future directions on the identification of the determinants and consequences of this dimension, including its predictive role for mobility limitations, neurodegenerative diseases, and mortality. |
